In April 2026, several young activists were arrested during a protest in Madagascar, where they demanded a clear timeline for upcoming elections.
This incident has led to growing disillusionment among the youth, who initially celebrated the regime change but are now questioning its commitment to democratic processes.
The arrests have intensified fears that the military government may not offer the improvements hoped for after the previous regime was overthrown.
